This Week's Wedding Spotlight: Allison and Ed: Ok this is actually a little late considering their wedding was actually September 4, 2010 but since I was on vacation and was not posting we are a week behind- but such as life goes, here a little later then normal is this week's wedding spotlight: For Allison she wanted something that was different from what she had seen at other weddings. She wanted to use the bright colors (red, hot pink and orange) of late summer and combine that with her love of peacock feathers and birds of paradise. Because the wedding was set at the Botanical Gardens of NJ at the Skylands manor I wanted to make sure we kept with that garden feeling so as to go along with the natural decor of the location. The bride carried a mix of red garden roses and seasonal dahlias with peacock feathers accenting the bouquet.  The bridesmaids carried a mix of the wedding colors and garden flowers also accented with the feathers.  The ceremony was able to take place outside on a part of the garden overlooking the twin fountain structures. Because it was taking place outside and we wanted to pull in that plant element so we did a combination piece of live phalenopsis orchids and cut flowers for color.  The aisle design was based off of one the bride had seen in a magazine, we did a draping of tulle across the chairs as well as a carpet of rose petals as opposed to a runner.  To carry the natural botanical theme inside we used wheat grass cubes with gerber daisies in hot pink orange and red and birds of paradise in a style that made it look like they were growing right from the grass, and then we added the peacock feathers to give the piece a more whimsical look.  Want to see how we can create a beautiful and unique wedding day for you? |
